          The one you nornally use to post, as you drag the picture over the text box it will turn to a grey colour then just release your finger and it will drop
          Find picture, then left click and hold, then move picture over text box it will change colour and release left click and it should drop into the text box

            Just testing.

            I highlight the photo(s), in my photo album (I use Zoombrowser as it came with the camera), that I want to post, click on the double square in the top right hand corner of the screen (to reduce it by half) and can then drag (left click) from photo album into this text box. Release left click on mouse and the pictures drop into the text box in thumbnail size.

            Depending on how fast your internet is (mines slow) they can arrive quickly or slowly. One takes about five seconds.

            I then type my text for each one and place my cusor where I want the picture and click on 'Full Image'.

            P1270486.JPG

            Just in case anyone is interested in the picture. The dogs look well fed because they are. They're all, originally, strays but have found their way to this temple in Bhutan and it's one of the monks that is feeding them.

              Posting in a Text box is not a lot of use when I am trying to put images in the Gallery.

                  That is what I get, but when I go from Choose a File to my Album on the Computer, it will not allow me to select more than one image at a time. So I have to go to Add Picture and through that screen over and over again. Very time consuming.

                    Ah, sorry @Palustris, I didn't realise that you were trying to upload to an album. Bear with me, and I will take a look.

                    OK - cracked it!

                    The problem is being caused because Flash is being blocked by browsers - the reason they have done this is to force you to update Flash, as a vulnerability has been found which needs to be patched with an update.

                    The easiest resolution is to go to Adobe's website to get Flash - Adobe Flash Player Install for all versions

                    Make sure you look at the 'Optional offers' in the middle bit - my personal recommendation is that you UNTICK these boxes, but at the end of the day it is entirely up to you.

                    Then click on the yellow Install Now button on the left.

                    Flash.png

                    Once you have done this, you will then need to tell your browser to allow Flash to work at all times (it is usually set to 'Ask to Activate' or similar); in Firefox, you do this by clicking on the three bars at the top right hand corner of the screen, then select Add-Ons:

                    FFTools.png

                    Then, click Plugins over on the left hand side of the screen, then find the line that says Adobe Flash (or Shockwave Flash as it is also called), follow that line across to the right hand side, and select 'Always Activate'; close and re-open Firefox, and all should be well.

                    I am not just as familiar with Chrome, but I would expect that it is very similar - I am happy to try and help work it out if you get stuck.

                      Cheers. I had downloaded the latest Flash player a few days ago, but had not set it to always activate, only ask to activate. Crashed the first time I tried too, but it now works. Thanks once again.
